The Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has spoken out on rumoured plan defection to APC where he dismissed in strong terms rumours circulating on social media that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying such was the figment of the writer’s warped imagination.
The governor in a strongly worded press statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, described such claims as the handiwork of mischief makers and agents of division, aimed at misleading the public about the Governor ‘s political allegiance and unwavering commitment to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“Let it be on record and let me make myself clear that I have not, and will never contemplate abandoning People’s Democratic party for any party for whatever reasons” the governor is quoted in the statement as saying.
The Governor specifically condemned the doctored content being circulated, which falsely depicted his image alongside APC governors, purportedly preparing to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Edo State.
“The fabrication was a deliberate ploy to create confusion and cast doubt on my unwavering loyalty to the People’s Democratic party PDP.” The statement further quoted.
Governor Mutfwang reiterated his steadfast dedication to serving the people of Plateau State under the PDP, the platform through which he earned the people’s mandate. He categorically stated that he has never contemplated leaving the PDP for any other political party.
He reassured PDP members in Plateau State and the North Central Zone that consultations with critical stakeholders are ongoing to resolve lingering issues affecting the party in the zone.
Highlighting the success of the recent PDP Governors’ meeting hosted in Plateau State, the Governor emphasized that it reflected the principles of equity, justice, and fairness envisioned by the party’s founding fathers.
Governor Mutfwang further reaffirmed his commitment to collaborating with the Federal Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the collective interest of Plateau State’s development.
